Curio Bay, another beautiful Catlins Coast Beach, and habitat of Hector's Dolphins, the smallest species (1.4 metres)and found only in New Zealand. This was the view from the house in the dunes I was fortunate enough to stay in. For two hours in the afternoon I watched two schools from here on the deck - the dolphins and the Curio Bay Surf School - both a joy to watch - and to see man interacting with these wonderful sea creatures was special. The dolphins are so graceful,and playful. I am sorry I have no dolphin pics to share - I did get some, but black blobs in the sea are not very interesting. They were too fast for me. There was no cell phone coverage and no TV but with a view like this who needs them. Taken with Canon 450D. Thank you for looking, your opinions are always welcome and appreciated.

The surfers are very helpful in interpreting the proper scale of this beautiful coastline. Wonderful post again Lyn!

Wowzer LE? This is so beautiful. I envy the privacy and view you had. Must have been the reason you are so vitalized.

Such a sprawling beauty. Your series reminds me of this song.

A fabulous seascape and great frame.
However, it's this song that comes to my mind.

What a wonderful view you had. I can't imagine these guys trying to surf with so few waves tho. Maybe they were just practicing on the small ones eh? And again you've shown layers of colours in this photo. Absolutely beautiful. Verena

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?

A nicely framed excellent shot from the house where you stayed. You are right , who needs phone or TV when you can see the likes of this.
